<p>So as a calc AB student near the end of 11th grade, is Math 2 a better test to take as compared to Math 1? And is it worth taking both?</p>
<p>Every time I get an email I hope it’s the MITES team telling us to check our portals</p>
<p>@Fredsterboard since you’re already taking calc AB, I’d highly recommend just taking Math 2. There is no benefit to also doing Math 1 if you’re doing Math 2, so just do the latter.</p>
<p>On a side note, have some memes, guys.</p>

<p>Okay those made me laugh. My anxiety is slightly lower.</p>
<p>Yay :D</p>
<p>@Apdenoatis You want memes? Cause that’s how you get memes.</p>

<p>MITES decisions: terrorizing Shiba Inus everywhere.</p>
<p>I actually took the May 2013 SAT Math 2C test, and the curve was not -1 for 790, I can promise you that, because I skipped 3 and still got an 800. I said the curve is usually approximately -6 for 800, but that varies from test to test. Sometimes tests can be a little bit harder and have a generous curve, vise versa. </p>
<p>Sparknotes made a chart that models the typical scoring curve for the Math 2C test.</p>
<p><a href=“SparkNotes: Today's Most Popular Study Guides”>SparkNotes: Today's Most Popular Study Guides;
<p>That’s nice to know. Yikes, 50 questions one hour! I’m going to assume that they aren’t computationally intensive then.</p>
<p>I skipped 3 and got 780, so probably a 3-5 wrong too. For subject tests, they don’t tell you the number you got wrong the way they do on the SAT.</p>
<p>@Greenwave2015 the questions sort of get progressively a bit harder as the test goes on, or at least it was so when I took mine. I whizzed through the first 40 or so questions but then spent about 5 minutes each on two of the questions near the end. Of course, it all varies from test to test.</p>
<p>Imo just do as many practice problems as you can prior to the test (but try to spread it out over at least 2-3 months.) Practice going for one-hour stretches of 50 questions. With math and physics - it’s all about repetition, as painful as it is. </p>
<p>Hello!!! So after reading this thread I’ve decided to stop hiding, like you all I’m checking my e-mail constantly. Also taking the ACT Wednesday. Was so hoping to get the e-mail this week to get over the emotion of any decision. This thread has helped to ease my mind a bit. Praying for all of us, and I hope to meet you guys this summer.</p>
<p>@jlwashin Hello Ms. Washington. Have any students who have only completed Calc AB by the time of graduation been admitted to MIT"S computer science department? </p>
<p>@cps2015, I’m not a MIT admissions expert, but I can tell you with assurance that 1) They don’t accept people based on what department they want to go into and 2) They don’t mind what math classes you have taken as long as you have taken the highest level you could have. Some people only reach precalculus or even algebra II ,depending on what their high school offers, and still get in. Rest assured most high schools don’t even offer anything past Calc AB.</p>
<p>Though it is highly recommended to have done up to Calc AB at least (It says it on MIT’s admission site).
My friend only did up to Calc AB in high school and now attends MIT so you’re okay</p>
<p>@Greenwave2015 @Fredsterboard Thanks guys! I was worried because that is all my high school offers. </p>
<p>That is all my school offers as well but after speaking to some people from admissions they find it perfectly acceptable as long as you select the most rigorous course load your school offers. In all honesty it is rather logical. There is no accurate way to quantify the capabilities of a student who hasn’t taken anything past calc AB if they have not been given the opportunity to do so (that is, aside from assuming that success in higher level courses may be indicated by marks from prerequisites). So in short, don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>Guys admission decisions will be posted Friday April 25th 11:59 pm eastern time!!! </p>
<p>I think it says <em>by</em> Friday, April 25th at 11:59 PM Eastern. So it could be any time from now until then. Plus, jlwashin said that the MITES staff are aiming to finish before April 22.</p>
